Student Learning Outcomes

How is this course different from Advisors Institute?

NASPA's Peer Education Advisors Institute is an intimate, cohort-based institute held in-person every year. That event is intended for more advanced advisors to be able to network and take their skills to the next level. Therefore, completing Advisors Academy is a pre-requisite for attendance at Advisors Institute.

How much is this course?

The pricing for this course is based on individual NASPA membership. The cost is $149 for members, and $249 for non-members.

How long does this course take?

The course consists of approximately 75 minutes of video instruction. There is also an accompanying workbook (available as a PDF in the course) which contains reflection activities and worksheets for you to complete throughout the training.

What else is included?

In addition to the recorded content and accompanying workbook, students will also have access to our Peer Education and Advising Faculty, who will be listed as instructors of the course. These individuals are peer educator advisors just like you and are a great resource! Over time these volunteers will also work to enhance the Advisors Academy course with discussion boards, surveys, and other opportunities for folks to connect.

What other online courses are recommended for peer education advisors?

We highly recommend completing our Certified Peer Educator (CPE) Train the Trainer course! Completing this course will allow you to deliver the nationally recognized CPE training for your students, resulting in them attaining a certification to include on their resume.
